Template talk:Item

"display:none" spans?
Anyone knows what the  spans are for? They're there since the beginning (and also rare and epic have the same value (=A)). --Crunch (talk) 14:19, 6 June 2016 (CDT)
 * My guess is for sorting, though it doesn't make much sense to me since the hidden sort value doesn't line up with the star values. CodeHydro (talk) 17:32, 6 June 2016 (CDT)
 * @ Looks like this template was based on your Template:Rarity. My guess is that you derived the code from some other source but wasn't quite sure why there were hidden spans perhaps? I don't think we ever sort items on any page on this wiki so if responds and says he doesn't know their purpose then I'd say it's safe to remove them. We can always add them back if we want a sort key later on.CodeHydro (talk) 07:16, 7 June 2016 (CDT)
 * I ditched the hidden spans. It doesn't quite sort correctly anyhow and they were adding too much bulk to the HTML. ItemX for McCoy's Scrubs was broken due to HTML size. After reducing HTML size, it started working again (though it required some redundancies in the switches). — CodeHydro (msg) 08:03, 20 July 2016 (CDT)

A new look.
I personally never liked the clunkiness of the rarity word, but I think the current version won the Item Design Voting because the colors were useful at a glance. Well I came up with this design which were not among the original choices. I think this combines the compactness of option 4 (which was actually won more votes) and the "at a glance" color coding of option 1. — CodeHydro 10:04, 12 June 2016 (CDT)


 * Looks promising. Maybe include it here, and have modify the poll? --Crunch (talk) 10:14, 12 June 2016 (CDT)
